What is the Navigenics Medications service?
The Medications panel analyzes your DNA for genetic markers that are known to affect how your body might process certain pharmaceutical drugs. In some cases, your genetic code can indicate whether you are likely to experience severe side effects with a particular drug, and in other cases whether the drug is likely to be effective for you. By knowing how you are likely to respond to certain medications, you and your doctor can work together to make medication choices tailored for you.
